Report

It seems he’s quite active both on dating sites and Facebook.
I was contacted by a US Sgt. Daniel Brad, deployed in Kabul – Afghanistan.
I was asked 1,200 BP to fly him “home” with me, when I’ve refused to pay for his flight he pretended that he might be helped and lowered the price to 565 BP.
I’ve reported him to the Police and I’m now reporting him over the internet.
There are a few aliases that I’ve found, but I’m pretty sure that there are many more:
sgt. daniel brad – danielbrad50@yahoo.com
capt.harris pedersen – capt.harrispedersen@yahoo.com
joped2910@yahoo.com
sgt. mark butler – Sgt.markbutler68@yahoo.com
pedersen kelvin
colpeddy@yahoo.com
derick frank
thomas penderson
bill cole
richard dennis
wilson pedersen
pickard thomas
kelvin marthins
jude gacia
maxwell brown

I was also give the e-mail e8.patrickkeen@yahoo.com, he said it was a friend of his, though I’m pretty sure it’s just another alias.

Please, let me know if you have information about this person: I’ll pass it straight away to the Police.

I just about got roped into this scam. He has the name of Devin Averak stating he is a Marshall out of Colorado Mountain Base currently deployed in Nigeria. I knew it was to easy and to good to be true. So i started investigating. I am currently looking for ways to report it internally to the military criminal investigation command. I want to see this ass hat taken down.

He hasn’t lied when he’s told you that he’s “deployed” in Nigeria because he is a Nigerian scammer like many others.
No way you can report him to the army because this filth is not a soldier at all. Maybe if he’s using the pic of a soldier fallen on duty, who knows.

Arnold Phelps is probably the newest profile he’s created; since the profile says he just joined this August.

It has the same pictures as above. I uploaded the profile pic on google because I was curious if it was a “catfish” scenario. But after reading everything here it seems he’s a con-artist scamming women out of their money.

He hasn’t asked me for any money but I’m sure its something he’ll lead in to.

This guy is now using the name Scott Barnett, out of Gainesville, FL. Email is scottbarnettc@gmail.com. He’s been removed from eharmony, but still on military singles website. Says he’s stationed in Afghanistan. Looking for relationship, etc. Widower with an eight year old daughter. Wanted me to pay money to the military telecom department so we could talk using an email address of military.t@consultant.com. Bogus.

Good that you haven’t sent him money yet. Don’t. Soldiers don’t need to have their flight paid by anybody, the Army provides for them – and trust me their wages are good enough for them to pay their own ticket.
Just leave him alone and be happy that you’re safe and sound away from this piece of scum.

hi am new to this and I also am talking to someone claiming to be in the army.he goes by the name Edwin speck or speck Edwin he uses yahoo messanger. he just asked for money for flight ticket . the picture he sent me the guy is so handsome and he has the name on the uniform to I cant belive there out here doing this. but today people don’t care I just want to know how to get him in jail. some one email thanks.

hi I would like to know if the picture he used. if that guy is truly in the army and how could I find him.and how do I post his picture because I don’t see nothing on him.like how they have all the other military pictures who are being scammed. am not sending him money but I find it so hard to stop talking to him .someone please help me.

Hi Gina, I am currently in contact with this same guy. He added me on facebook by the name Joe Pedersen. I find it hard to stop contact also, but this really isn’t him. It is a good thing i decided to check him out

Yes I’m still talking to this person and just a few minutes he ask me for money I had to change yahoo I’d but what I don’t understand is this the person in the photo I see the name on the uniform but what is his real name and how may I contact.him to give him my up most sincere apologizes

I don’t know but this person is still saying to me that someone is stopping his photos and he has tried to convince me that the person I’m currently talk with is the man in the photo at the top of this page I don’t know really what to say.but all I know is that if he has a mother she would be shamed using our military men and there photos to get women to talk with them and then ask for money yes I fell for the lines he put out there and I meet him on tagged the dating site he was goin by the name MikePedersen69@yahoo.com

I’ll try to post photos on here but I’m new to all this. I’m getting ready to go to church now so it will b later on. I only have one of the photos on my Facebook page n it goes to people I’ve sent a msg to. I’ll get back to u later.

Oh I’m so glad I’ve found this site. Major Craig Pedersen n I have been conversing for three weeks. He really reeled me in. He convinced me I’d been talking .to terrorists the first time he asked for money but when he asked for money the second time I said it was a scam n he was trying to can money out of me. All he said was Ok. I severed all communication but then contacted him agaIn becos I wanted answers. I new that I wld never believe a word he said because he’s a conman so severed all communication again. Now I’m gonna have a bit of fun n email all his aliasses.

It’s Claire updating my last posting. I spoke wiv ‘Craig Pedersen’ this morning. He denied all knowledge of the other names.used in this scam. I asked him if he was Russian or Nigerian.. He asked if I wanted to no n I sed yes.. He sed he is a Nigerian orphan n has to do this or he will starve to death. He sed he knows there is a website dedicated to Craig Pedersen. I refused to send him money but made some suggestions as to how he cld help himself assuming he’s an orphan.

What I don’t.understand is how many people can use the same photos wiv different names not get caught.out? What r the US Army doin about this?

I searched for an obituary for Craig Pedersen n one came up but it was not a match to the man.I have In uniform. wiv Pedersen on his khaki uniform.

I have posted this photo on my Facebook page. Please have a look n tell me if it’s the same man that u r talking about. Find me under Claire Iveson. Thanks

Go, go, go!!! Great, I’m filing all the info I can obtain. The Police’s gonna have a lot of data to check out.
If he’ll give you other names, addresses or e-mails pls let me know.
Take care of yourself, though.

I have been talking to this @hole scammer for a couple of weeks and He made me believe he was Craig Pedersen. I met him on Zoosk personals and after several crafty letters to my e-mail , several Im”s, and numerous text to my cell phone, He starts asking me for money for shaving stuff. He asked me for 300.00.!!!!! What kind of fool did he think i was?????LMAO I have already reported him to several authorities, He is gowing down for sure!!! I just hope he has not been successful in conning anyone!!!!

He has nicked many women already, unfortunately.
When he sent txt to your mobile: have you been able to read the phone number he was sending the txt from? i have a mobile number, but in the UK there’s no
way to know who’s the owner so i haven’t been able to go anywhere with this information.

also going by craig pedersen … a major in the army ….. cpeddy52@yahoo.com phone number 402 2570404 says his wife passed away 2 years ago and has daughter gracie … she will become ill and he will need money to help her have several photos please contact me so that I may get them to you

The phone number that I’ve got is in the UK, I see that yours is in the States.
I’m pretty sure that he (they?) use other women to send messages to other victims. Apart from the pictures that you can see, I’ve got another one only.

Hi. Plse send me photos of ‘Major Craig Pedersen’. I have been conversing wiv someone of the same name who said he has a six year old daughter called Gracie. He told me she needed.surgery n he needed 1500$. I didn’t send any.money but I did do a lot of digging.in various sites n questioned ‘him’ again n again. Eventually the person admitted they were Nigerian n this is how he earns his living. He told .me he’s an orphan n asked for money. I declined for the third time to send money. Told him I wld do my best to stop him using this soilders name n to stop him from trying to scam women n get money out of them. Reported him to the dating site (freechristiandating) several times n got .no response. Fink the whole site is bogus. Sent emails various US Amy departments n herd nufing back. Link emails all went into spam n have been deleted. Eventually unreported the stolen identity thru a memorial site. Don’t know what else to do.

I don’t know where you live. In the UK there’s a site, they help you with the Police and report. You have to give as much as possible information and, if yo have any evidence, keep it.
In the States there are organisations that can help you, too. There you can turn to the FBI, again giving all the evidences/information what you have.
I don’t know how to send you the picture that I have, but just take into consideration that they’ve got a lot of pictures and they change all the time. All the dating sites have a number of scammers, it’s up to us to find and report them to the site.

I don’t know the whole story but I’m one of his victims I’m currently speaking with him I know he has used mikepedersen69#yahoo.com what I would like to know is the person in the photo really a marine and is he real

I have bin played by this so called person he also gos by the name Emmanuel dowe Perderson his Emal I have is sgt.emma007@hotmail.com….. He lead me to believe that he was coming for me and my son….. I FCK up and sent him 1600

I met him on facebook, he said his name is Pedersen George, His email is sgtpedersen_2012@yahoo.com , and now he changed his picture . I can send the new picture he is using. Not the same soldier´s picture anymore
